The thing that I keep noticing about Michael is that he doesn’t have the “prettiest” of strokes. He seems to have a real wiggle to his stroke. But one thing I’ve noticed is that no one swimmer swims the same stroke in the same fashion. His stroke reminds me of the way Gabe Woodward would swim.

Thought he was rather short on his finish too. Looked like he really jammed his right arm into the wall instead of staying longer and finishing on his left…all that means is that there’s still plenty of room for improvement which is kindof a scary thing to think about with this kid.

It would be interesting to see what he does under the surface though.

Thank you for mentioning the greatest record of all…Jesse’s 15:31 as a 14 year old in 1976. Epic and timeless.
